American Thinker:
According to eyewitness testimony, the gunman climbed up atop a building with a rifle and crawled across the roof before opening fire.
The witness states that both the Secret Service and local police were warned that the gunman was preparing to fire but was ignored.
We emphasize that these are first reports, and might well be amended at a later date. But Jason Chaffetz of Fox News had also excoriated the Secret Service for its failure. Rest assured that inquiries will be made.
I’m thinking it was a Patsy failure.
There should have been Secret Service stationed on all those adjoining roofs in the vicinity.
Drones and helicopters usually.
I smell a failed setup.
Trump moved as the shooter fired or this may have been been a totally different outcome.
Smells to high heavens.
criticizing gubmint bez yt-supremacy, yo!
Well —-DUH!!!
I’m blind and I can clearly see this. /S
It seems like just last week that every clever Democrat was saying that the Supreme Court’s ruling on Presidential immunity meant Biden could have Trump assassinated with impunity. Where are these inciters now? I know, I know…They were just being facetious. But they sure took Trump literally for his 5th Avenue comment.
“Rest assured the inquiries will be made…”. and no one will be held accountable.
Not necessarily sinister explanation; it was probably poor training of the SS personnel. Maybe they should have had one of those short, fat female agents up there on the roof with the sniper rifle? Maybe the SS sniper had to first make sure he wasn’t shooting a black man, and thereby ruining his career?
Botched deep state hit
I am overwhelmed with complete and utter cynicism. This assassination attempt is either DEI on full display (Keystone Cops, how prophetic this happened in the Keystone State) or a planned IC event. I keep seeing references to the amazing photograph of the bullet whizzing past President Trump,and I can’t help it find that photo as proof of a planned event. How was it that a photographer was so well placed to be taking photos at that precise moment and precise angle? And no less than a New York Times photographer! Did this photographer have an instructions for his placement and that they would have a opportunity for a chance of a lifetime to take a most ghastly and dastardly picture of President Trump’s death?
I cannot put into words the depth of my grief for this Republic with my belief this is most definitely an planned IC event.
Police snipers on the roof, either behind or to the side of the podium, had the shooter in their sights and allowed him to get his shots off before they killed him. No problem with loose ends or the need for another Jack Ruby.
100% an inside job.
complete SS failure – half that crew looked like DEI hires
The dems will use this and will take out Potatoe Joe – solving his candicacy” issue, blame the repubs and say it was a conservative in revenge for someone shooting at President Trump.
“SS failure?” Not from my cheap seat, this was the plan.
Next up; a Fibbie in a MAGA hat solves their Pedo Wont Go problem in a way that lets them declare Marital Law, cancel elections, jail President Trump after suspending Habeus Corpus, and start gun confiscations.
THAT guy wont miss.
Where was Lon Horiuchi, FBI sniper.
Good old Lon cut his teeth at WACO and Ruby Ridge.
His expertise was shooting religious parishioners, dogs, kids and Mothers holding her young baby.
Lon Horiuchi didn’t wait or flinch when it came to pulling the trigger.
Eugene Thane Cesar and Mac Wallace could not be reached for comment.
140 yard shot with a 22 and almost, if the PRESIDENT hadn’t turned his head, perfect bullet placement.
I need to see this gun.
confiscate @ your own risk, dindus
George Bush CIA
Never Trumpers Bushites
“Conspiracy theory” CIA construct
Mark my words, by early on today never trumpers will be out front selling the conspiracy theory narrative
This was orchestrated. The sniper team, perhaps code named Jack Ruby, did not have to be in on it. The one telling them to hold their fire until the perp, code named Lee Harvey, got off the first shot was though.
This has botched deep state hit job written all over it.
Someone on X said
“Biden wouldn’t even have Flinched if He was Shot at”

5 Seconds later
Biden: “what”
It was an inexcusable secret service failure that one of two roofs with sub-200yd line-of-sight ability was not secured. It was likely an FBI failure that the president survived.
There is absolutely no way the deep state didn’t want this. The reason I can say that is that the obvious optimal sniper position was left unsecured. A ten year old would have figured out that securing the high ground is so obvious as to be something that is automatically done. This part of security isn’t rocket science.
@SNS:
Does that mean we’re gonna be fucked? 😯
It’s hard for me to believe they failed this bad, I think it was a setup. I’m also not buying it was a .22, the ER doctor said the man who was shot in the head had brain matter coming out of his head.
Also not buying this was some 20 year old kid.
declare martial law @ your own risk
“It is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and to secure that against any possible threat against a very determined attacker,” Bivens said. “That’s a huge lift.”
Any possible threat?? How bout just the minimal precautions as a good place to start? They aren’t even trying to hide it. This reminds me of the daylight theft of the presidential election. They no longer even care to hide it.
This was NOT a Secret Service failure.
This is the result of a weaponized justice system, corrupt RINO’s and the Demoncrat party attacking the political opposition. For the past 8 years, even while Trump was in office, it has been nothing but attacks on Trump, Baron and the beautiful Malania. This entire political system is nothing more than the evil that our government has turned into. So now, the corrupt United States is taking assassination as their next step
They have the FBI as the lead agency in the “investigation.” They have become so accustomed to reliably sell damn near anything that they have become complacent. This is so easy to connect the dots on that Ray Charles could do it.
Obviously a botched deep state hit job.
Any claim that this wasn’t a deliberate set up is so preposterous that it isn’t even plausible. Elevated firing point 140 yards from the target, clear line of sight, unsecured. Give me a fucking break, even a DEI hire would recognize that leaving that position unsecured would not even be doing the bare minimum. And foxing it off on lack of resources? Ask for additional personnel and were turned down. The field commander could have hired a rent a cop with a walkie talkie and put them there. They NEEDED that rooftop left unsecured to pull this off. There is absolutely no other plausible explanation. None whatsoever.
DHS plot more like it…
Find some low IQ brainwashed patsy who just happened to be a registered Republican in order to vote against Trump in the closed PA primary. Some deep state handler gives him weapons & training.
What was supposed to happen:
Patsy shoots Trump.
SS shoots patsy.
Plausible deniability all around.
Democrats display fake sympathy. Imply Trump brought it on himself.
Democrats use shooting to justify illegal “assault weapons ban”.
What happened:
Patsy missed.
SS shot patsy.
Plausible deniability established.
Democrats display fake sympathy. Imply Trump brought it on himself.
Democrats use shooting to justify illegal “assault weapons ban”.
Democrats plan next attempt.
Future Option:
Deep takes out FJB.
Claims some fake “Trump supporter” patsy did it in retaliation.
Younger, equally fucktarded globalist sock puppet takes Biden spot on ticket.
Trump needs private security. The SS is in on this at some level.
This is what is known as a “deliberate failure.” It will be sold as a failure to secure the area. What will be left out of the narrative is that at best they deliberately failed to secure the area hoping that some individual would take advantage of that “lapse.”
When the guy was spotted by casual observers who notified the authorities, it becomes apparent that it was more than a lone wolf taking advantage of something they missed.
This is a botched CIA hit job folks.
The shots came too fast for a bolt, 22 mag maybe. 20 year old??? Lots of fishy in this story.

“…lets them declare Marital Law…
Does that mean we’re gonna be fucked? 😯”
…eh, marital, martial, either way someone’s telling you what to do and often not in a very nice way…
The guy was spotted and reported to authorities minutes prior to getting off the first shot. The SS trains and can reliably neutralize any threat they actually want to neutralize within two seconds IF THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO. But, hey if they can get away with what they got away with in the 2020 election, they thought themselves invincible and able to get away with anything. The SS counter sniper team didn’t actually have to be in on it. It would have been enough for them to be told to hold their fire.
Now that they have the FBI as lead agency, they will delay, delay, delay while labeling anyone who goes against the narrative a conspiratorial theorist. YouTube will censor anything that goes against the narrative. The corporate media will gaslight the public.
The fuckers got away with assassinating President Kennedy. When the truth finally came out… at this point, what difference does it make. They are relying on the same thing here. FBI as lead agency. Hide the facts from the public. Label anyone who doesn’t go along a conspiracy theorist. Gaslight anyone who considers evidence they don’t want considered. Keep everything Top Secret for five decades…
Nothing new here.
How could the SS possibly fail after they dove headlong into DEI ideology that only makes them better, the best they could possibly be?
friggin idiots. Burn it all down and rebuild from the ground up without hiring based on sex and skin color. PROTECTION with proper training and firing those who don’t perform is the only thing, you friggin idiots.
The left is cancer.

Don’t go there. They put their DEI hire in charge to give them an out. This was orchestrated and Secret Service upper echelon was involved. Having a DEI hire to fob off responsibility onto is part of setting up plausible deniability if the shit goes sideways. Don’t give them that out.
Don’t give them the irresponsible rhetoric motivating an impressionable lone wolf as an out either. He may have not been formally recruited, but he was part of their scheme.
Yes, their “irresponsible rhetoric” has been motivating their followers, but that is only part of what was an obvious setup.
Failure is random, “failure” all goes one way. They want Trump dead and made it easy for this guy. He could have been actively recruited or he could have taken advantage of “failures.” Either way, it’s a botched deliberate attempt to solve their Trump problem.
There will, of course, be an investigation next week after the RNC convention. Garland and Wray should not be allowed anywhere near it since they are most certainly complicit in this.
I’m wondering if they accomplished what they were meant to do. No one has mentioned how people might now be afraid to go to President Trump rallies. They were so jealous that he had many thousands of people at his rallies. They wanted to put a stop to it.
I believe Merrick Garland ordered this operation.
